So I have heard that acid can make you go crazy.. and that Syd Barrett thought he was a glass of orange juice but like permanently. I doutb this. I have read up on him, and they think he had manic depression and other mental problems. I just dont think that acid can make u think you are a glass of orange juice haha. well, maybe until the trip is over, but it wears off, right?! I dont know. I guess what im saying is that I hate it when people put so much blame on the drug. You wont go crazy unless you are going to go crazy anyway, maybe the lsd just makes it more apparent.
That's the common theory. I think that acid can be an extreme experience and that mentally unstable people should not take it. I mean, if you are in a bad mood you will get a bad trip, so being fucked up in another way will probably affect you similarly. I'm not expert, though.
latent mental illness can be triggered by extreme stress. something as intense as an acid trip could certainly trigger something like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. drugs can't cause these problems, however- they are part of your genetic makeup, essentially you either have the predisposition or you don't.
Yeah all 300 million people in America know that guy who's a glass of orange juice, apparently there's alot of orange juice out there. Even Syd's band mates say the acid probably help triggered it but it would've happened anyways, Syd just couldn't deal with the pressures of fame and big record companies on your ass
yeah i just hate when people hear half the story and automatically base their judgements on acid as that. though, it can trigger problems, and should be taken seriously, so the unstable minds should be careful. it just annoys me when my friends are like, "dude dont do acid, it will make u go crazy" thats just retarded because than u are putting ur own mental state in the hands of something other than yourself...
I believe LSD wont really mess you up unless you let it. But it can and will amplify any mental problems one already has.
i think most time we interact with other people and live with the hands dealt in life we are putting our own mental state in the hands of something other than ourself...
